A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I'm getting tired & frustrated trying to learn new tricks, so I figured I'd just go out and fly a kite that's fun to fly. The wind was pretty low, but smooth. I really like the way this kite looks when it flies, so I figured I'd share it. If you have a spare 5 minutes, enjoy. Full screen it and turn your speakers up...

First official day looks real good. How about Norm's FFF's with that Fade it's simple from there. I finally got my head on last night. Crazy wind for a week now. Last night was real rough at the Wednesday Nite Fly. But I finally kept my feet together and stretched my arms forward when doing a FFF. He must be at the shore himself.

Nice to see Rob. I will look forward to videos during the season. Funny the Beach were I fly is now empty until Spring. I think I will declare it Vertigo's new Season... .

The guys were surf kiting the other day with gusting winds to 20 mph. I could only sit and watch... Kites in the car.. The north winds start up again...

Glad you all enjoyed it, I sure enjoyed getting the beach back from the summer time beach-goers. 90% of my flying since May has been inland, and I sure appreciate what inlanders have to endure and still remain enthusiastic about kite flying.

John, didn't you make a VF entry flying an Elixir ? I'm tempted to take a clip from last weekend's session and enter it in the current VF round.

It sure is a pretty flying kite, I think it might get bumped back into the 'A' bag for a while. Even if it can't do 'all' the tricks...

I do think that the contestants should have to enter how many times they

did their "entry" until they got the one submitted.

My Elixir entry was done on the first attempt.

Could have done better, but this was more of what my flying was like

at the time.

You know what ? I think just keeping the kite in the frame is something to be proud of when making an entry. My entry wasn't accepted that round because of too much Out Of Frame (OOF). I have about an hour's worth of batteries to capture my entries. Sometimes that's not even enough time to catch 60-90 seconds of in-frame flying. 8(
